- ARobert H.· November 21st, 2024I can highly recommend these wonderful trips we had with Eskapas to both Gallipoli and Troy. There is no need to say much for Kusadasi. A uniquely beautiful coastal settlement... Eskapas made great efforts to make our tour go smoothly. Hulya was a top guide who could explain the area very well with her excellent English. Thank you very much for this beautiful experience.Show moreTrip date: March 2023Review collected by Eskapas

- AClara O.· November 21st, 2024Our guide was outstanding. He was well-versed in and enthusiastic about history. He was familiar with every event and knew the names of all the heroes who fought in the conflicts. He knew much more about the history of this old city. His knowledge of history and command of the English language made for more than just a 'programmed' tour. The food and accomodation were also excellent. Thank you for your warmth and professionalism.Show moreTrip date: August 2023Review collected by Eskapas
